Effect of Blood Flow Restriction Technique on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

Effect of Blood Flow Restriction Technique on Pain, Muscle Tone and Strength in Delayed Muscle Soreness

The aim of our study is to determine and evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction technique on pain, biomechanical properties and strength of the muscle in delayed onset muscle pain in healthy individuals. A Double Blind, Randomized Controlled, prospective study was planned.

All participants will be taken into the DOMS creation protocol. Participants will then be divided into 80% intensity BFR and 20% intensity Blood Flow Restriction technique (BFR) groups and will be included in an exercise protocol accompanied by BFR application.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy individuals between the ages of 18-35 (who have not participated in any resistance training program for at least 6 months)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having a previous musculoskeletal system injury
• Having a condition that prevents resistance exercise
• Having cardiovascular disease
• Using medication for blood pressure control
